Seeds.
Broadcast over the world we sow
SeedB of evil, seeds of good :
Weak and powerful, high and low,
Linked in human brotherhood.
What we scatter we never know ;
Out of small things come the great ;
Weeds spring up and daffodils Mow,
Harvests ripen early and late.
Sown in gladness or sown in pain,
Frailest seedlings strike firm root,
Quick to vigor and growth attain,
Bearing oweet or bitter fruit.
Never one do we drop in vain,
Each, recorded, angels keep,
Softly counting the less or gain
Men therefrom will sometime reap.
Drones or workers in life's beehive
All we do or leave undone,
Duties that for fulfilment strive,
Things imperfect, just leg;m,
Seed-like, after us htill survive.
Woe to careless hand or heart !
Weeds and thistles the swiftest thrive,
Rarest buds are slow to start.
Noble action, or word, or thought,
Helps another to the light,
Guides him into the path he sought,
Teaches what is best and right.
Work in secret and silence wrought,
Foolish words unthinking said,
Each with blessings or curses fraught.
Influence eternal shed.
Broadcast over the world we sow
Seeds of evil, seeds of good,
Heedless trample and grind them low,
Life's true aim misunderstood.
What we scatter wo never know :
Out f small things come the great.
Weeds spring up and daffodils blow.
Nature's law inviolate.
FARM, GARDEN AM) HOUSEHOLD.
Domestic Aids.
Dough Cake. Two cups of light
dough, two cups of sugar, one cup of
butter, half cup of milk, two eggs, one
and a-half cups of flour, one teaspoon
ful of soda, one cup of raisins ; flavor
with nutmeg and cinnamon.
Custard Pie. Line a deep plate with
pie crust and till with custard made of one
pint of milk, three eggs, three table
spoonfuls of white sugar and a pinch of
salt ; flavor with nutmeg ; bake until
firm in the center ; this you can tell by
inserting the handle of a teaspoon ; do
not let the oven get hot enough to boil
it.
To Make Chocolate. Take three
even tablespoonfuls of Baker's choco
late, grated ; for convenience put in a
bowl or dish holding over a quart : then
add two tablespoonfuls of white granu
lated sugar; mix the chocolate and
sugar thoroughly ; then add one table
spoonful of boiling water ; be sure and
have the water boiling ; stir until
smooth ; then boil one pint of milk and
one pint of water together; when it
really boils pour it gradually over the
chocolate mixture, Stirling all the time.
The chocolate is now ready for use, ami,
I hope, will be liked as much by others
as by me.
Many housekeepers waste a great deal
of bread by throwing away all the
pieces ; here are some of the ways to
use them up : Bread pudding may be
made much more palatable by putting
the yolks of two or three eggs in the
pudding, and reserving the whites;
when baked, spread jelly or any kind of
sauce over the top ; beat the whites
stiff, add a little sugar, set in the oven
and let brown.
Getting Rid of Rata.
Many farms are so infested with rats
as to cause serious loss to their occu
pants, and various remedies are resorted
to for their destruction. None will
prove so effectual, however, as to make
a simultaneous attack upon them "all
along the line," by setting steel traps,
deadfalls, triphead barrels, delusion
traps, together with a poison box, or
box in which you have continued to
feed them on cheese, buttered bread,
fcc, until they will almost come for cal
ling, when saturate their bait with
deadly poison, and they and
their neighbors will come flock
ing in to enjoy the repast, which,
as soon as partaken of, and resolutions
of thanks passed for the kindness, will
cause them to retire handsomely to rest
forever. This, and keeping a thorough
bred rat-terrier or two trained for the
purpose, will soon make the place too
hot for them. But to render their ex
termination the more complete, concert
ofactionmustbehad by all interested.
Every farmer should take his own prem
ises in hand, and then, after so arrang
ing his outbuildings as to shut the de
structive animals out, he can make use
of the above means with every prospect
of success.
C'lieck-Kcins.
Never use a cheek-rein upon a horse
at work, as it is calculated to worry and
injure the animal more than the work he
is required to do. If a man has a
heavy load to draw, he lowers his head
by bending forward, and throws the
whole weight of his body against it. So
does a horse if he is permitted to do so.
But if the man's head were so tied back
that ho could not bend forward, he
would lose the advantage of his weight;
just so with the horse. By taking off or
loosening the check rein on a horse at
work, you not only increase his muscu
lar power, but abandon a fashion which
is both cruel and foolish.
Vnluc or Fertilizer.
To ascertain the value of any fertili
zer, where its analysis is known, multiply
the per cent, of each ingredient nitro
gen, phosphoric acid, or potash by its
price per pound, which gives the value
of a hundred pounds ; a ton would be
twenty times that much. The market
price of nitrogen per pound may be
stated at about eighteen cents, phos
phoric acid twelve and a-half cents and
potash six cents.
arden Peas.
This hardy and excellent vegetable
may be planted successively up to the first
of July. They produce best on light, rich
and well-tilled soil. The soil for the
first crop should be prepared as early as
possible in spring after the frost is out
of the ground, and the peas put in as
soon thereafter as possible. Other sow
ings may be made at intervals of two or
three weeks, if a succession of crops is
desired. Peas, when grown in small
quantities for private use, may as well
be sown in double rows six or eight in
ches apart, with a space between of
about three feet in order to give room
to bush the taller-growing varieties, and
plenty of space to pass between the rows
in gathering the crop.
Early Varieties. Philadelphia is the
earliest of all, and close upon it comes
Early Kent, Daniel O'Kourke. Laxton's
Alpha, Carter's "First Chop," Kentish
Invicta and Tom Thumb. The last va
riety can be raised with least trouble and
may be also said to produce least, as it
grows but half a foot high.
Early McLean's Advancer, Laxton's
Prolific Long Pod and McLean's Little
Gem are good early varieties.
Medium. Champion of England, Lax
ton's Marvel, McLean's Premier and
Eugenie.
Late. British Queen, Black-Eyed
Marrowfat, Tall Sugar and McLean's
Best of All. Champion of England for
a main crop is still considered the best.
This grows five feet high ; the pods are
large and well filled. For an early pea
there is none better than McLean's Lit
tle Gem.
Fashion Sprays.
Cretonne fans in Watteau designs of
bright colors, are much in vogue to use
with light dresses.
A polonaise opening in front, slightly
draped behind and forming a long, nar
row train, is worn over a short-plaited
underskirt for a visiting costume at
present.
These scarf draperies can now be pur
chased in every tint, plain, plaided or
embroidered, and are exceeding rich and
handsome. They are worn at the side,
knotted in front or tied behind, with the
ends lost among the bouffant trimmings
of the dress, as may suit the age, stvle
and taste of the wearer.
The Oriental scarf is a feature in many
styles of dress. It is w orn knotted low
on the left side of the skirt, after cross
ing the right hip, and vice versa. It is
used with a very elegant robe de cfotm
hre, as well as with a rich evening or
dinner dress. It is a graceful relief to
any skirt in which too much plainness
predominates, but should never be used
with an embarrass of shirrings, puffs
and flounces.
A large dry goods house displays sash
ribbons of shaded satin. The ends
either brocaded or embroidered in elab
orate and beautiful designs. Also sum
mer silk of beautiful quality called Jer
sey silk. It is of American manufacture,
and is a yard and a half wide, and of the
softest and most pliant texture. Shaded
silks have also just come in, being
shaded from one selvedge to the other
in a succession of blended tints grading
from dark to light.
If novelties may be mentioned with
habiliments of woe, it is proper to state
that one of the new phases of deep grief
is to have the favorite chair of the de
ceased brought from its accustomed
place in the study or the sitting-room,
to form a conspicuous object in the sa
lon when visits of condolenco are re
ceived. It is draped in purple and
generally placed between two other
chairs of antique design or unique style.
The amount of draperies the chair bears
is supposed to indicate the depth cf
grief sustained by the bereaved. No
one is supposed to set upon this chair,
or to think of doing so, any more than
he would attempt to ride the led horse
behind the hearse of a soldier. Should
he so far forget himself as to approach
it with a view of resting there, he is in
stantly admonished by those present of
his dreadful mistake. This new phase
of bereavement is very fashionable with
those who like to display their grief
without the risk of reddening their eyes
or disfiguring their faces with "tears,
idle tears." The preservation of objects
which were personal belongings of the
loved and lost can be readily understood
and appreciated by all who have been
bereft of some one held dear. By these,
the sanctity of privacy is given to such
treasures ; the closed desk, the lonely
room, the vacant chair, withheld from
all for the dear sake of its last occupant,
speak of grief too deep for idle utter
ance. The ostentatious display which
Fashion in crape is now inaugurating may
find favor with the shallow few, but
never with the true hearted, deep-sorrowing
many.
Itanibs that Killed the Czar.
Alexander II. was killed by Orsini
ombs. These destructive shells are
very dangerous, not only on account of
'.the quantity of fragments they scatter
about on exploding, but also on ac
count of their special construction,
.which renders them explosible at the
least shock. At the time of Orsini's at
tempt against the life of Napoleon HI.
'one of the conspirators had his arm
blown off by one of the bombs he was
holding in his hand. These bombs are
of spherical or ellipsoidal form. In the
first shape they are -covered all over
-with caps ; in the other, the basis of the
shell being heavier than the other parts,
the projectile tlnown in the air always
falls on the same end where the caps
are, and the explosion takes place.

Mr. Spoopendyke Prepares a Speech
Upon " Woman."
" Now, my dear," said Mr. Spoopen
dyke, as lie drew writing materials
toward him, "now I want your woman's
wit. These fellows insist that I must
respond to the toast, Woman,' to-morrow
night, and I must prepare a few
remarks. If we both go at it, we'll get
up something nice."
"What you want?" argued Mrs.
Spoopendyke, entering into the spirit of
the undertaking, and tapping her teeth
with her thimble. " What you want is
woman in her various phases."
"What I want is a speech," retorted
Mr. Spoopendyke. " They haven't put
me down for a panorama. I want a
short address, full of good points and
pleasant things about the ladies. Now
I shall begin: ' Fellow citizens "
" But women ain't fellow citizens. I
should say "
" You'd say, fellow back hair,' that's
what's you'd say. Tm addressing the
people, and they're all men; don't you
see ? Pve got to commence somewhere,
and then I go on. Now, fellow citi
zens, regarding women, our origin,
our companions, our posterity, our
mothers, our wives and our daugh
ters, .what more can we say than
that they give us life, make it happy
and soothe its decline ?' How's that ?"
"Is that the same woman?' asked
Mrs. Spoopendyke, bending over the
table. "It don't strike mo that she
would care to have it put in that way.
Why not say: ' Fellow citizen; wo are
assem ' "
" What's the matter with you?" de
manded Mr. Spoopendyke. "I've got
to open with a sentiment, and you can't
find anything more graceful than that.
Then I will go on: ' She rises in the
cradle, reaches her meridian at the al
tar and goes down in a flood of dew at
the grave.' Can you grasp that ?"
"I don't like that as well as the
other," remonstrated Mrs. Spoopendyke.
"You make her a mother while she's a
baby, and as for the grave part, you
don't stop to think that she may be an
other meridian by getting married igain.
I would say something like this : Fel
low citizens we are assem ' "
"No, I won't either. Who's going to
get married again ? Can't you see that
I'm only carrying out the first idea of
origin, conrpanship, and posterity!
Rising in the cradle means giving us
birth. Now you hold up. Suppose I
say next : We revere her as mother,
adore her as wife, and and,' say what
do we do for her as daughter ? "
"We provide a homo for her
Wouldn't?"
" Yes, of course ! " raved Mr. Spoop
endyke. "That's the idea! That fixes
it ! All you want now is two prolonged
laughters," four 'continued "applauses,'
one 'enthusiasm ' and 'a voice' to be
an oration ! ' Fellow citizens, we furnish
her with poached eggs and be a ns ! Fel
low citizens, we pass her the gravy!
Fellow citizens ! ' " yelled Mr. Spoopen
dyke, gesticulating like a horse-chestnut
tree. " 'Fellow citizens, if she wants
her beef rare, we give it to her ! Fel
low citizens, we give her all the dod
gasted butter she can paste on her
bread!' is that what you want me to
say ? Expect I'm going to stand around
and make a measly ass of myself ? 4 Fel
low citizens, as mother we revere her !
Fellow citizens, as wife we adore her !
Fellow citizens, to help a man get up a
speech she's the dod slamdest donkey
that ever raised a family ! ' wah-h-h-h,"
shrieked Mr. Spoopendyke, purple in the
face, " got any more suggestions ? Know
any more eloquence ?" and the worthy
gentleman leaned back in his chair
speechless.
" Couldn't you leave her out alto
gether?" recommended Mrs. Spoopen
dyke. "Can't you jus revere her as
mother and adore her as wife ? As for
the daughter, you might pass it over
with saying: ."Fellow citizens, we are
sssem "
" Yes, or I can cut her throat ! " pro
claimed Mr. Spoopendyke. " I can take
her to the pound ! I can salt her down
for winter use ! Dod gast the speech !'
and Mr. Spoopendyke danced on the
fragments of his notes. "To-morrow
night I'll answer that toast by telling
what a dod gasted old mule you'd make
f any man that would listen to you,"
and Mr. Spoopendyke banged himself
into the bed like a beer spigot andtwent
to sleep.
"Well," thought Mrs. Spoopendyke,
as she took down her hair and put it
up again, "I don't see why he
couldn't say: 'Fellow citizens,
we are assembled here to say
something poetical about women,
and the best I can say is we show her
when we don't always lovo her, and we
love her when we don't always
show .it." That's sensible and it's
so," sighed Mrs. Spoopendyke,
falling over her husband's boots
and then the good woman opened
the window on her spouse's side of the
bed, and sticking a few pins in the pil
low in case she should want them in the
night, she went prayerfully to sleep.

Scones in a Sailor's Life.
Henry Jones, a seaman, was buried at
the Naval Academy cemetery, at An
napolis, Md., recently, with full naval
honors. He had seen many years of
service in the navy. At one time he,
with three others, was cast away on a
raft without provisions and hundreds of
miles .from land. At last it was agreed
that they should draw lots to see who
should be the first to die that the others
might have food. The lot was cast not
only once, but twice, and the human
bodies were devoured until only two
were left Jones and his companion.
As they were about to decide which of
them should be the third sacrifice the
Sandwich islands were sighted and
their lives were saved. Jones would
only relate the story when he was in his
cups.
MORAL AjJfD RELIGIOUS.
Salvation by Prayer.
A correspondent of the Chicago Tri
bune wrtes: In Copiah county, Missis
sippi, I was shown a place where a man
was not hanged, who nevertheless seema
to have come very near experiencing
that fate. He was a noted horse thief,
and was at last captured by a company
of indignant farmers who had found
some of their own horses tied up in the
woods, and had remained in ambush
near by until the thief came back to
dispose of his booty. The whole coun
tryside was soon informed of the arrest,
and the men assembled with rifles and
shotguns to see the prisoner and decide
or learn what was to be done with him.
It was determined, after due deliber
ation, that he should be hanged then
and there. A rope was accordingly
procured, one end was fastened to a
convenient limb and the other made
into a noose which was adjusted around
the prisoner's neck. He was mounted
upon a mule, and a man was selected
who was t o act as executioner by leading
the animal away from the tree, thus
leaving the culprit dangling in the air.
Apparently his last moment had come,
and he had too much good sense to ask
for his life.
But his captors were nearly all re
ligious men, members of the Christian
churches of ; the neighborhood, and at
this juncture one of the leaders sug
gested that as it was a very solemn
thing to send a human soul into eter
nity especially if in an unire
parcd conditicn, as was most likely
the case in this instance, he thought
they ought to engage in prayer before
hanging the mau. To this all assented
and the man who had proposed devo
tional exercises was appointed to lead
in prayer. He did so, and made a most
feeling anl fervent plea for divine
mercy for the sinner who was jnst about
to appear in the presence of the Most
High with all his crimes upon his head.
The company was deeply impressed ;
many were even moved to tears. But
the prayer came to an eml, the tear
bedewed eyes were dried, and the "ex
ercises of the occasion" were about to
be completed according to the pro
gramme, when the man who had held
the mule by the bridle declared that he
did not feel willing to discharge the
duty which had been assigned to him.
" Somebody else do it ; I don't want to
have nothing to do with hangin' him,"
said he, and his feeling was found to be
the unanimous sentiment of the assem
bly. The result was that the prisoner
was delivered to the sheriff, and was
soon afterward sentenced to a long term
in the penitentiary. I think he must
have been ever afterward an earnest be
liever in the efficacy of prayer.

The public has long conceded that
the power of the hotel clerk is superior
to that of the President. Anew rival
has sprung up in the railroad ticket
agent, as was demonstrated at an Iowa
station a few weeks ago.
"I want a ticket to B said a
well-known lady of the town, just before
train.
Twenty-four cents," responded the
agent, working his sausage machine.
She laid down a silver quarter. Being
well-acquainted and a practical joker,
the agent drew from his pocket a glit
tering pants button and passed it over
with the ticket and scooped up the
quarter.
"Is this legal tender?" asked the
lady, quietly.
Oh, yes," he answered, with mock
gravity, " they are the mainstay of the
republic."
She pocketed it and got aboard, leav
ing the agent's face coruscating with
smiles.
A few days after he told it to a bri
gade of "runners buying tickets for B ,
and while he was enjoying the encore
the lady appeared with.
Ticket for B , please."
" Twenty-four cents," with a sly wink
at the runners. He laid, down the
ticket. She scooped it and laid down
twenty-four dazzling pants buttons,
exactly like the first.
" You said they were legal tender.
They go a long ways in supporting the
family," she chirped, sweetly, as she
bowed from the presence of more than
presidential prerogative.
tireik Fish.
Fish was a favorite dint, the tunny
being probably coarser food, as the eel
was one of the more costly and delicate,
especially when stewed and smothered
in beet-root. Many kinds of shell-fish
were in use, oysters being, as with the
Romans, especial favorites. The cuttle
fish arul the sea-urchin (echinus) do net j
seem to us tempting food; snails (eaten j
with bulbi), cray-fisli, several kinds of j
crabs, prawns, mussels and whelks are j
often mentioned. In truth the anec- I
f
dotes about the fi.sh market are endless.
'It is a nice thing," says a poet of the
' Middle Comedy," " to see a well
stored fish shop when you have money
in your pocket not otherwise. There
was poor Corydus with just four cop
pers, who first looked at the crabs, eels
and tunnies, asked the price of each,
and then went oil to the sprats."

Dear Sir This is to certify that I had been suffer

grew very rapidlv, and all my friends had given me
up to die, when 1 heard of your mcdicioe. VEGEnsE,
recommended lor Cancer and Cancerous Humors. I
commenced to take it, and soon found nr. self begin
ning to leel better: my health and spirits both felt the
benign influence which it exerted, and a few months
from the time I commenced the use ot the Vegetine
tne Cancer came out almost bodil v.

I certify that I am personally acquainted with Mrs.
DeForrest, and I consider her one of our verv best
women. Dn. S. H. FOWLERS.

Dp. H. R. Stevens:
The great sympathy I have for others who are suf
ferers from Cancer and Cancerous Humors impresses
me that it is my sabred duty to write you. although a
stranger to me. For two long vears I suffered and
endured the most painful torments, from a Cancer
ot the Breast. My cae defied the efforts of the best
physicians. I tried manv remedies, when a gentle
man in the office with mv husband advised him to
try your priceless Vegetine: he brought home a bot
tle. Before taking hall ot the lirst bottle I slept well
nights. I continued taking the Vegetine, gaining
every day: have taken eighteen bottles, and am now
perlectly cured: not a vestige of my disease left. I
wish every one could know what a pood medicine it
is for such diseases. Your name will never be for
gotten. Mav (rod ever bless, guide and protect you,
is the earnest daily prayer ot

of malarial fevers, will eradicate the cause of so
much snff ring. Xo less effective is this benignant
alterative in cases of constipation, dyspepsia, liver
complaint, rheumatism, and in general debilty and
nervous weakness. For sale by all Druggists and
